Adjustable flexible display device

Abstract

A flexible display device may include a display module unit configured to project an image, a frame, and a connecting unit. The frame supports the display module unit. The connecting unit is coupled to the display module unit and the frame, and is adjustable so as to allow an amount of curvature of the display module unit to be adjusted.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A flexible display device comprising:
 a display module unit configured to project an image;   a frame supporting the display module unit; and   a connecting unit coupled to the display module unit and the frame, the connecting unit being adjustable so as to allow an amount of curvature of the display module unit to be adjusted.   
     
     
         2 . The flexible display device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a rear side of the display module unit is coupled to the frame.   
     
     
         3 . The flexible display device of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the rear side of the display module unit is coupled to the frame by an adhesive, at least one screw, or at least one bolt and at least one nut.   
     
     
         4 . The flexible display device of  claim 1 , wherein the display module unit includes:
 a flexible display panel; and   a chassis base which is disposed below the flexible display panel,   wherein the chassis base includes a flexible plate.   
     
     
         5 . The flexible display device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the connecting unit includes a tie rod or a variable tie rod.   
     
     
         6 . The flexible display device of  claim 5 , wherein the variable tie rod includes:
 a fixing portion;   a first variable portion which is movable within the fixing portion; and   a second variable portion which is movable within the fixing portion,   wherein the first variable portion is coupled to the frame, and the second variable portion is coupled to the display module unit.   
     
     
         7 . The flexible display device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a rear side of the display module unit includes a detachable unit to which the connecting unit can be removably attached.   
     
     
         8 . The flexible display device of  claim 1 , wherein the frame includes:
 a left frame connected to the connecting unit and positioned proximate to a left side of the frame; and   a right frame connected to the connecting unit and positioned proximate to a right side of the frame.   
     
     
         9 . The flexible display device of  claim 8 , wherein the connecting unit includes:
 a first coupling unit coupled to an upper hole of the left frame;   a second coupling unit coupled to a lower hole of the left frame;   a third coupling unit coupled to an upper hole of the right frame; and   a fourth coupling unit coupled to a lower hole of the right frame.   
     
     
         10 . The flexible display device of  claim 9 , wherein the display module unit includes:
 a first detachable unit configured to be removably attachable to the first coupling unit and positioned proximate to an upper right side of the display module unit;   a second detachable unit configured to be removably attachable to the second coupling unit and positioned proximate to a lower right side of the display module unit;   a third detachable unit configured to be removably attachable to the third coupling unit and positioned proximate to an upper left side of the display module unit; and   a fourth detachable unit configured to be removably attachable to the fourth coupling unit and positioned proximate to a lower left side of the display module unit.   
     
     
         11 . The flexible display device of  claim 1 , wherein the display module unit includes:
 a flexible display panel;   a chassis base disposed below the flexible display panel; and   a circuit unit configured to drive the flexible display device and disposed between the flexible display panel and the chassis base,   wherein the chassis base includes chassis base parts which are arranged on a surface of the chassis base along a horizontal direction and connected to each other, and   the circuit unit includes circuit parts which are arranged on the surface of the chassis base along the horizontal direction and connected to each other.   
     
     
         12 . The flexible display device of  claim 11 , wherein the display module unit further includes:
 a rear cabinet disposed below the chassis base,   wherein the rear cabinet includes rear cabinet parts which are arranged on the surface of the chassis base along the horizontal direction and connected to each other.
